Out of the Mouths of Babes...

Ellie asked me what I was reading."It's my new book. It's called The Complete Tightwad Gazette and it's full of tips and advice about how to spend less" I said."And you spent money on it? Ha! How silly is that!" she replied, and walked away, shaking her head and cackling.

I borrowed the first book and read it through, taking notes, in just a couple of days. Changed my entire outlook on spending and led to a two year binge of reading every single book in the library, and as many as I could get through Inter-Library Loan, on frugality, thrift, being a tightwad and cheapskate. I now own all three of her books, "bought" with trade credit at the used bookstore.

You will love them, Mel, especially because there are so many ideas for folks with children!

If you're anything like me, your copy will be read two or three times straight through, dogearred beyond belief, and referred to again and again and again. It's not just "money spent," it's a good investment!
